Long Live the Emperor, Minus Me (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 2
Lee Baekryeon received a marriage proposal exactly once in her entire life.
“Of course you did—after all, you’ve been married once.”
Hearing Baekryeon’s words, her daughter laughed heartily, but Baekryeon did not laugh. It hadn’t been a joke.
The one who proposed to Baekryeon was not her one and only spouse.
The one who proposed to Baekryeon was the Empire’s one and only sun—her sovereign lord.
Baekryeon remembered that day vividly. It happened roughly a thousand days before the birth of her daughter, Yu Xian—a time when Jin was not yet an empire, and His Majesty was still a king rather than an emperor.
That day was the eve of Baekryeon’s departure for war.
On the eve of the great war—the last before Jin became an empire—His Majesty generously provided rare wine and meat to boost the army’s morale.
Even after the banquet ended, he summoned her again, claiming the wine was insufficient.
Since she had often accompanied him privately before, Baekryeon obediently followed him into his private chambers.
Their conversation, which began with words of encouragement regarding the upcoming war, soon shifted to politics and then drifted into his concerns about stabilizing the rapidly swelling public sentiment within the realm.
“Please take an empress consort and designate a crown prince. If the Inner Court is stabilized and the succession secured, peace will reign throughout the land.”
That was the first solution that came to mind for calming public unrest. But as soon as she mentioned an empress consort, Cheongryeong frowned and recoiled in distaste.
“Again with that? You truly never tire of it.”
He was right. For nearly fifteen years, Baekryeon had repeatedly urged him, whenever the timing seemed appropriate, to select an empress and appoint a crown prince.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
